Rosaries, Prayer Ropes, Chotkis, Prayer Beads. All are a way of simply staying focused on prayer. While the focus of prayer is spiritual and sometimes mental, as humans we find that something tangible helps. The use of the rosary or prayer beads helps to bring us into a contemplative, meditative prayer—really thinking about and being mindful of praying, of being in the presence of God—by use of mind, body, and spirit. The touching of the fingers on each successive bead is an aid in keeping our mind from wandering, and the rhythm of the prayers leads us more readily into stillness, allowing the repetition to become a sort of lullaby of love and praise that enables your mind to rest and your heart to become quiet and still.
The Rugged Rosaries' Anglican Prayer Beads.
The Rugged Rosaries Anglican Jesus Prayer Beads are available HERE.
There are several traditional and contemporary prayers available, or you can assemble a set of prayers on your own. For example, try finding a Bible verse, psalm, or prayer that resounds with you.

Move to the Invitatory bead and saying -
“O God make speed to save me (us),
O Lord make haste to help me (us),
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.
Amen.”

And all manner of things shall be well.
